The New Tomb Raider's Girl

Tomb Raider, perhaps the most complex video game ever. Its series (including the puzzles, actions, movie shots, etc) and the movies are always worth to wait especially for the protagonist, Lara Croft. Tomb Raider's movies are identically with Angelina Jolie, but not with the game. Since Eidos Interactive, Ltd, published the human Lara Croft in 1997, Eidos has sought real-life counterparts for its acrobatic archaeologist heroine, and they've helped propel the video game series to worldwide sales topping 32 million. In August 12, 2008, Eidos revealed the new human for Lara Croft model, a gymnast from British, Alison Carrol for its new series, Underworld.

This new series also the first Tomb Raider game designed to fully reflect the physical athleticism and real-world skills required of a world-class adventurer. With an all-new engine built specifically to exploit the capabilities of the latest game consoles, Tomb Raider: Underworld depicts Lara as we have never seen her before with movements and skills reminiscent of a highly skilled gymnast. With her experienced that more than 12 years in competitive gymnast which competed across the globe and featuring the essential characteristics at the core of Lara Croft’s personality -- brawn, brains and beauty -- Alison Carroll particularly the most compliment human model for Lara Croft model.

"It's unbelievable how realistic [Lara's] movements are in Tomb Raider: Underworld and it's so gratifying to be able to use my years of gymnastic training to portray such a beloved character," Carroll said in a press release. Although Carroll's more than able to match Croft kick for kick, she's still undergoing a training regime that includes weapons classes in Eastern Europe, survival technique instruction from British SAS troops, and -- naturally -- a crash course in archaeology.

Tomb Raider : Underworld will be released in November 2008.
